This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Mosquito Joe. One of my favorite places to hang out at our house used to be our back deck. It overlooks our large yard and we have some privacy due to a few evergreen trees. But now it’s not so fun. Our trees are a bit… [Read More]

Motherhood is a roller-coaster combination of joy and stress. Add in the responsibilities of a job and the stress level increases even more. Now lump in summer and working from home (yikes!) and I find it hard to fit in all of the things I need to do for me, much less relax and recharge… [Read More]

If you are a busy mom like me, the last thing you want to think about is what you are going to make for dinner. In fact, pretty much every day around 4:30, I groan and say out loud “these people have to eat AGAIN??” I fully intend to meal plan but am truly terrible… [Read More]

Can you believe we’re two weeks from St. Patrick’s Day? It feels like Valentine’s Day was just yesterday! Yesterday, we got a package of Lucky Charms in the mail (thanks General Mills!) and my daughter used all the packing materials to make a present for Lucky the Leprechaun. She’s decided that we are absolutely going… [Read More]

I’m not much of a morning person, and if it wasn’t for coffee, I might very well skip mornings all together! Between getting kids ready for school, getting myself put together, and packing lunches, a healthy breakfast is not top of mind. In fact, more often than not, I grab a box of cereal out… [Read More]

I know, I know. You’re thinking what in the heck is this lady talking about? We all know kids do funny things. They make up words; they play silly nonsense games. Well, a few weeks ago, my kids were watching an episode of “Teen Titans Go” where Beast Boy and another character could only say… [Read More]

I received samples from Quinn Snacks. No other compensation was received for this post. We love a good movie night here in my household. In fact, if you go searching for us on a Friday night, you’ll likely find all for of us hunkered down in our bonus room, scanning Netflix, Amazon or Hulu for… [Read More]

One of my favorite parts of Valentine’s Day is the time I get to spend with my family. The hubby and I don’t really “do” Valentine’s Day so we make it a family affair. We bake treats together, make a fun dinner and this year I want to play some fun Valentine themed games. We’ve… [Read More]

When it comes to New Year’s Eve parties and celebrating with your kids, the last thing you want is for them to accidentally find their way into the cocktail section of the party. This is why it’s so important to find fun and festive drinks your kids will enjoy, alcohol-free! These are perfect for a… [Read More]

This post is sponsored by At Home Stores. It’s here! My most favorite time of the year. I know the holiday season can be hectic and even stressful, but ignoring all that, the time from Thanksgiving to January 4 (my birthday!) is hands down the best part of the year for me. There’s just something… [Read More]
